Needed an editor to get it down to 90 mins.

Basically a redo of Battlefield Los Angeles.

30 min boot camp + endless flashbacks completely unnecessary.

Otherwise a solid action flick and hope the make a sequel

My only gripe. rangers are supposed to be some of the best of the best. these guys whined so much and were so useless.

A tranny made it through Ranger school. fricking useless.

Pretty solid action/alien movie. Thought the acting was ok, but def not the worst I’ve seen like some people are complaining about. I can see the second one being just like battle:Los Angeles, which I loved btw.

Should have figured out a way to put Kiss War Machine in the movie.

I didn't make it five minutes when he showed up with a full beard in a Army uniform. If they're not even going to make an effort to hire a military advisor, I'm not going to make an effort to watch it. Downvote away

At least it makes sense that they were battling aliens in LA, a major city. Why was this War Machine in a gorge in the middle of nowhere? Made no sense.

It was a good watch. Surprisingly, it was a decent army movie that incorporated aliens and wasn't really sci-fi. Well done for that category.

that them having no real bullets or way to fight back may have been in the trailer but I missed it.


Bullets would have had no effect, the plot would have literally been the same.

It’s a pretty bad movie with a badly executed plot and pretty bad acting which somehow held my attention and which I wound up enjoying.

I don’t believe that I could ever watch it again.

Lol. As Shane Gillis said the older i get the more Republican I become. Seeing the tranny make the final cut got my gears grinded but I pushed through.


Solid Netflix movie though.

Very enjoyable watch.

Battleship meets Predator meets War of the Worlds and it didnt disappoint.

Would definitely watch another one.

I watched it. I was wanting it to just be a story about how he made the rangers and went on an actual mission and not some space invaders.

I didn't know what it was so I assumed it's a tranny. Army Rangers used to be bad arse until DEI I guess.

Chick Rangers have been a thing since 2015 & still are under current guidelines.
